Army Lists: Dark Angels with Raukaan Allies (1850pts) v2

So, I chatted with some guys in my local meta about the list I posted yesterday. After, some helpful criticisms and insights, I have come up with the a revised list. I still wanted the two "deathstar" bike squads, but I toned down the IH squad by removing the power mauls. Realistically, the IH captain can put out enough damage on his own if the squad gets mired in an unavoidable CQC. I also removed the immortal Stormraven in favor of armor saturation. So here is the second version of the list:

So, as you can see, there were a few other optimizations as well. I got rid of the Stormtalon and replaced it with a Stalker so that my AA is on the board at the start of the game. I also swapped the troop choices around. The IH tactical marines have better weapon options and chapter tactics for the same price as the DA marines which don't come with as many options. With all of the points that were saved, I was also able to add another melta speeder too.

With all of the armor I will have on the board, I am a little worried about a facing a drop pod (or jump) melta type list. The threat can be mitigated somewhat by careful deployment, but I would probably still lose some tanks early. Overall though, I think this is a more efficient list that I will want to test a couple of times! Feel free to comment below.
